Mr. Adita, hopefully the fest speaks for itself at this point!<br />
Mostly, we just hope you had fun. Thanks for being involved.<br />
<br />
The turn out for night one of the fest was better than we could have expected. It was a great night of good friends, new friends, and lots of art and talent. Shirley temples were had and funny short films were viewed. Thanks to everyone for coming out and making the Chicago Zine Fest what it is!<br />

Check out the rest of the event today! There will be over 100 exhibitors…
